We are seeing odd behaviour with this one and are investigating what is
going on, but we haven't found a solution yet. We will take a long hard
look at it over the weekend -- you are more than welcome to lend a hand!

Recently, Og reported that he had no sound. A 'pulseaudio -k' fixed it
for him (it kills the sound server and restarts it). For those
interested in the ideas driving the ALSA+PA integration work done by
Fedora, see this link:

To make a long story short, PulseAudio has exposed some deficiencies in
the ALSA part of the stack (at least according to PA's author). So if
you are running into snags, you should definitely gather information
about the hardware you use and report the bug so that we can help Fedora
iron out the remaining kinks to the benefit of all of us.

For some tips on what to check if sound doesn't behave, see:
